Chapter 540  SCHEMING

As she braced herself, King Erestor Culnámo said, "A place has been prepared for you and your people to stay. Please stay here as long as you wish. I\'d like to know if our savior is in good hands."

"Only my wife\'s family has the right. Other people are irrelevant," Arthur coldly replied. "We will take your offer and stay here for a few days but that\'s all."

The beady eyes of King Erestor Culnámo gazed at him.

"Make yourself at home," he said.

That was the end of their conversation.

When Veronica and the rest came out of the Royal Tree, Veronica let out a deep breath. She didn\'t realize when she held her breath.

"Phew! That was stressful!"

Merlin wiped the traces of sweat away from his forehead.

"I don\'t know why but King Erestor Culnámo hates us, especially Arthur," he added.

"He thinks she belongs to the Elven Kingdom," Arthur muttered in a cold voice. "As if he can do whatever he wants."

Veronica circled her arm around his left hand and said, "Don\'t worry about it. There is no way he can make me do anything I don\'t want. He knows I can be a dragon. The dragon is the most sacred god they have."

Arthur looked at her and then brushed his fingers through her silver locks. Then, he pecked on her forehead and said, "I hope what you said is true. But I\'m not too fond of his gaze on you. He\'s scheming something."

"I agree," Ovior said. "There is no way he will agree to the fact that their blessed child is associating with the Magic Tower. They think we will use her for our own gain."

As he came forward, Merlin and Arthur looked at him.

"You seem well," Arthur commented.

"True, you are practically glowing," Merlin couldn\'t help but say a word of praise.

Ovior uncomfortably fixed his glasses. "I had enough rest. Aside from that, I have a feeling that the Elven King is scheming something. They don\'t like us but why would they invite us?"

Since he returned to the serious conversation, Arthur or Merlin didn\'t sidetrack him.

"We have to be careful," Arthur said.

"Fine, we will be careful. Let\'s go to the place that\'s been ready for you," saying Veronica pulled him by his arm.

With a restrained expression, Urulas escorted them to the guest houses. Veronica told them about how the tree houses were linked to the elves.

Merlin and the rest of the magicians were astounded by the stories. They couldn\'t help but feel respect for these friends of nature.

Once they moved to their respective guest houses, Veronica took Arthur to her house.

Catherine was sitting on a chair, reading a book. When she noticed them, she stood up and greeted Arthur.

"It has been a while, Arthur," she said. "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"Good to see you alive, Catherine," Arthur greeted her back. "I did nothing. My wife is the one who saved you."

"If you didn\'t support her decision, she wouldn\'t be able to come this far," Catherine stated.

"True but it was still not mine to decide. You are her friend. She has every right to decide what she wants to do," saying Arthur squeezed Veronica\'s hand. "All I did was support her decision because I trust her."

Veronica felt touched by his words. Her eyes became teary.

Even Catherine was stunned. She didn\'t have the time to check how Arthur changed over the months. All she knew was that he was blindly possessive toward Veronica and would lose his sanity if she was out of his sight.

"…You have changed," she said. Then, she let out a soft smile with relief. "Since you have matured so much, I have nothing to worry about. I can leave in peace."

Veronica frowned. She stepped forward and looked at her friend.

"Cathy, what do you mean?"

Catherine answered, "I decided to quit," Catherine said. "Honestly, this kind of adventure is too much for me. Although, I\'ll never say \'no\' to you if you need help. I just want to live a quiet life. I want to get married and have children. A simple life is fine for me."

"But what about helping out Ovior? Did you not promise to help him with his work?"

"Yes, I talked to Ovior about this. I\'ll work with him. Since magic is something we can rely on, I won\'t have any problem connecting my house with his office room." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Catherine was done explaining to her friend. Then, she asked Arthur, "If you don\'t mind, can you tell me where Sebastian is?"

"I can," Arthur slowly nodded. "If the Elven Prince takes you to the human realm, ask Darius to take you to him. He knows."

"I will, thank you." Catherine smiled.

Veronica embraced her friend and said, "Wait for me there. I\'ll prepare a grand wedding for you."

Catherine laughed in embarrassment. "Let me win him over first."

Veronica teasingly said, "His heart is already yours. Go, get him, girl."

After Catherine left, she went back to Arthur\'s arms.

He tightly wrapped her around his arms and pecked on her left temple.

"Are you finally at peace?" he inquired.

Veronica smiled in response. "You have no idea," she said.

After a while, Arthur couldn\'t help but ask, "Do you wish to stay here?"

"What do you mean?"

"This place is way safer for you than the Human Realm. I\'ve seen how people here respect you and earn your affection. They have no evil intentions. I won\'t say the same for the Elven King though."

Veronica poked his chest and said, "This place is the safest spot for me."

Arthur affectionately kissed her cheek. "Then, why don\'t you stay with me? You are always running around. You are everywhere but near me."

Veronica intertwined their fingers and then pulled his arm on her lap.

"Why don\'t we go somewhere? Just the two of us? We never went anywhere for a trip, just the two of us, other than when you showed me around Tybu."

Her sudden proposal made Arthur look at her properly.

"Do you mean honeymoon?" he asked.

"Yeah," she looked at him and continued, "Let\'s go to the ocean."

Arthur raised an eyebrow. "The ocean?"

"Yes."

"Why suddenly the ocean?"

"That\'s because I want to sail on a boat," Veronica answered. "Last time you took me to Kerbell. I liked it there."

Arthur remembered when he first took her on an outing, he brought her to Kerbell, the port city of Tybu.

"I didn\'t know you liked Kerbell that much. Fine, I\'ll take you to a cruise ship for our honeymoon," he promised.

His lips brushed against her forehead. She felt his lips pressing her skin. She closed her eyes.

The touch of his lips was soft, warm and soothing. It filled her heart.

When Arthur moved his lips away, he noticed that Veronica didn\'t move. Her eyes were shut. She fell asleep then and there.

There was so much he wanted to talk about but she seemed too tired. Her lips were slightly cracked; and dark eye bags underneath her eyelashes.

Noticing her condition, his heart ached. However, there was a feeling of pride.

\'My woman is just amazing,\' he thought.

He carried her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed. After covering her with a comforter, he went outside.

Ovior was waiting for him outside.

The two of them stood outside her house quietly for a few minutes before Arthur broke the silence.

"What happened when she was here?"

Ovior hesitated before telling him everything.

The more Arthur heard, the more blue veins became visible on his forehead.

"Where is that bastard?" Arthur mentioned Dastan, who forced a kiss on Veronica.

"We wanted to search for him," Ovior replied with regret, "but the elves sent a search party and told us to mind our own business."

Then, he added, "It\'s not that we could do anything. We had to take care of Veronica first. Right after she woke up, she wanted to help Catherine. We were unable to stop her. Luckily, she knows how to take care of herself."

"Since we have quite some time for ourselves, I\'d like to find that bastard," Arthur said.

"Are you planning to upset the Elven King? I don\'t think that\'s a good idea. What we want is not a war," Ovior reminded him. "We might need their help in the near future."

"They are the ones who are harming us. If they want trouble, we can give them that."

Upon hearing his words, Ovior pressed, "They have become Veronica\'s ally. You sure you want to do this?"

The last thing he wanted was a war where they would lose terribly. Moreover, it might strain Arthur\'s relationship with Veronica.

Arthur stated, "If they really are her ally, they have to take that bastard down from the throne and make the second prince the Crown Prince since he has become her true friend."

"I\'m surprised you are not jealous saying he is her friend."
